Mario Kart 8 Sells 2 Million Copies in Just Under a Month

Nintendo announced in its 74th annual general meeting of shareholders last night that Mario Kart 8 has now reached a sell-through of 2 million units sold worldwide, IGN confirmed with the company. That's 2 million sold in less than a month of release.

A tweet by user @NStyles, who was in attendance at the meeting, stated that Wii U hardware sales are also going up, likely due to the release of Mario Kart 8.

Mario Kart has always been a huge seller since its debut release on the Super Nintendo. It was announced earlier this month that Mario Kart 8 sold 1.2 million globally in its first weekend alone.
